What is the Prairie Learning Center?
The Prairie Learning Center (PLC) is a special place for learning. It is located near Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan, Canada. The PLC offers fun and educational workshops for high school students (grades 9-12). These programs help students learn about the environment and how to protect the unique mixed grass prairie ecosystem.
What Can You Learn at the PLC?
The workshops cover many exciting topics. You can learn about prairie ecology, which is how plants and animals live together in the prairie. You can also learn about First Nations storytelling, which shares important cultural knowledge. All these programs happen right on the real prairie land inside Grasslands National Park. This way, students can learn by exploring nature directly.
Discover Grasslands National Park
Grasslands National Park is a very special place. It is one of the last large areas of mixed-grass prairie left in Canada. This park is home to many amazing and rare animals.
Amazing Animals of Grasslands Park
- The greater short-horned lizard: This is the only type of lizard found in Saskatchewan!
- The black-footed ferret: This small mammal is one of the most endangered animals in North America. It's very rare!
- The pronghorn: This animal is super fast! It's the second fastest land mammal in the world.
More than 15 different types of animals and plants in the park are considered "at risk." This means they need special protection to make sure they don't disappear. The Prairie Learning Center helps teach people why it's so important to protect these special creatures and their homes.
